Will it ever end?

Hi, everyone! I' m eperiencing the same for a few months now. It is sometimes really  bad, there are days when diziness may take even few hours. I can concentrate, it is not like the room is spinning, but it feels like something is not right, alike nausia. At first i thought it is related to my autoimmune diseases (which cause anemia), but then I started noticing that diziness would most likely appear after I have consumed nicotine, caffeine (can' t tell about sweets yet).  Bottom line is -  it is worth trying say no to these, as long as it guarantees my well being. I will do so, and get back to you with a feedback. Btw, do not rush into taking every prescribed medicine ther is,your body is a temple and it should be treated like one. Prednisone, for example, is far to strong medicine and is used to treat autoimmune diseases, and if administered a couple months, it causes hair loss, hair growth on face and chest, chronic constipation and tremendous weight gain.

I am studying psychology , in college right now , and if the doctors haven't found anything to diagnose you properly you may have a Somatoform disorder , a person with this disorder experiences physical symptoms of an illness even though a doctor can find no medical cause for the symptoms .

Hi guys - I'm three years down the line and still suffering! Brain fog, light headed, visual disturbances (like my eyes cannot focus on anything) much worse when there's lots of visuals or bright lights! I'm tired and very irritable too - I guess you would be after three years of feeling like this! I occasionally have sore heads but it's the weird dizziness that's the absolute killer!

I have a 15 min walk to work, this is nothing compared to some peoples commute and yet by the time I get there, my office seems like it is completely spinning. My colleague's politely greet me with a good morning and a few obligatory questions and each day I just nod and pretend to listen when the reality is, I feel like I'm completely away with it! It takes me a while to focus on anything and I start every morning by discreetly slouchjng back in my chair feeling completely spaced out & dizzy, thinking how did I actually get here?!

Ive had a lot of tests & they have come back clear, I'm now seeing an audiologist and have been given visual exercises to do BUT I really feel like this weird feeling will never go away?! It's beginning to feel like the same day over and over!!

Is this weird or is this a familiar scenario?

can I ask you DizzyDebs - you say you have had lots of tests and they all came back clear- have you had a CT scan done at high resolution? Here is my story about SCDS: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/apr/14/balance-disorder-scds

This thread has been the most help i have found in weeks. 

I have seen the GP again about an inner ear infection that is supposed to be the cause of my permanent swaying / sinking sensation. I don't think It's my ear at all but have filled my perscription of Prochlorperazine.

the deficiency in vitamins is ringing bells for me as the swaying sensation tends to get exacerbated after nicotine. 

will try multivitamins tonight. 

 

I am 45 years old and been dizzy for 3weeks; been to my regular doc gave me mecalazine just makes me sleepy! Been to the er twice blood work came back fine and told me I had high blood pressure; took meds for bp and it's fine now.hospital gave me a test to see if I had vertigo and my left side was bad and did exercises for a few days.no more spinning but the dizziness is there! What can I do cause sometimes it's hardly there and sometimes it's bad!

I have similar symptoms and I was diagnosed with BPPV - benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. I fortunately collapsed in the doctors office and was sent by ambulance to emergency where they easily rulled out everything else and made this diagnosis. I recommend you read about BPPV and Miniere's disease as you may have one of these conditions. BPPV can spontaneously come on and then go away, but it can also come back at any time.

The best treatment is to remove stress, rest and avoid all alcohol, caffeine, smoking and salt. These are things that trigger attacks.

I hope this helps you find answers and relief.

I had same experience like you every days have dizziness turn left And right ,laying down stand about 30 hard to sleep because Of dizziness And now add when tray writing get dizziness too go My primary doctor give me med for dezziness mezline And refer me to ent not until June 29 My med dont help i dont know what going on With me sometimes feel Scare when it worse dizziness , i just hope we all get back normal again , keep in touch always we change info what make better for this dizziness

Hello magnets123

At the beginning of March 2015 I experienced very severe vertigo to the point I could not eat or walk properly with a constant sensation of spinning. I had been trying some inverted exercises to stretch my back but I think they just dislodged my inner crystals and to add to that I got some soapy water deep in my ears that I think inflammed my canals of balance.

I got some medication which stopped me from vomiting to I could eat. What gave me relief from the constant spinning sensation was ripping the magnet out of an old computer hard drive - placing it inside a heavy duty socket and punching a nail through a cork and attaching the cork inside the socket in such a way that a strong magnetic point was created at the nail tip. I made two such with different magnetic polarities and applied the two nail points now magnetised to every conceivable meridian point on my head. The spinning sensation lessened to a very high degree. I found exercises on the net to address crystal dislodgement and over a few weeks started to gradually feel okay with my head.

It took me some months to feel like I could walk without falling and straight. Every now and then I apply the magnetic devices I made to the back of my head and just feel a deep sense of relief from an ache inside my head. So I would suggest perhaps you look at Genesen Accutouch Pens as I simply could not buy them at the time - they may help you relieve your dizzy sensation but I have no way of vouching for you. Best of luck to anyone else reading this and trying magnetic healing devices to relieve a dizzy head!

Hi there....after reading your email I had to respond since I suffer from the SAME thing and have for years.  There is a possiblity you may have BPPV or Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo which is a very common disorder of the inner ear.  To explain it further, picture you inner ear like a nest filled with eggs.  When you move your head in a certain way, the eggs come out of the nest and float around.  That is when you'd get dizzy.  Once the "eggs" go back into their "nest", you feel balanced again.

I went through a bunch of tests and like you, was told I was perfectly healthy.  Meclazine only made me sleepy but did nothing for the vertigo.  The ONLY thing that helped and still helps to this day is Balance Therapy. 

Balanc Therapy is when you are on an examining table with you head hanging off slightly lower than the table.  A therapist holds your head and moves it slowly to the left, then back to center.  Then to the right and back to center.  This process is often repeated.  You WILL feel dizzy during this but afterwards, you should begin to feel better!   I felt better immediately....it was miraculous!

Please do yourself a favor and stop taking medications that do nothing.  Google Balance Therapy or talk to your ENT about it.  You WILL be able to control it and live a normal life.  I'd be happy to discuss further if you need to....good luck to you!

 

The Intake of Alcohol, Caffine, Coffee, Smoke completly injure you whole nuro vitamins from the body, Stop Intake of alcohol Completly and also long periodic of using of these will damage the nerves step by step in cereblum,That makes you dizzy feel etc,Stop alcohol, Quit smoking, Stop caffine, coffee, coke, soft drinks etc,Insted of these try healthy juices, fruits, rich fibre foods etc, Then after 3 - 4 weeks you will feel no dizzy sensations or dizziness, But make sure in your life you shoud not touch any one of this even for 1 year,then you will become completly normal like before, Once this problem rised you should be carfull with this , Even after a year if you Intake alcohol or smoke you will feel dizzy for some months because nerve, cereblum issues, So plz completly avoid this evils from life, Leave Smoke, ALcohol, Caffine, Coffee etc, Stop and feel the beauty of life 

 

Thanks to everyone for their comments and to Magnets123. I have seen a homeopath because I woke up dizzy one day, thought I was just run down (had a cold for a year) and my husband is dying of cancer and I am tense and anxious. My homeopath has cured me and my children of many illnesses, very successfully. But I also drink a lot of tea (high in caffeine), I am a tea addict. I thought perhaps I should just get more rest, I do feel very tired (and then drink more tea). But the treatment hasn't helped so far, I had already seen the GP who prescribed Serc which I didn't take because of the side-effects I read up about. So I will try cutting out tea, getting more sleep, and maybe try to see an ENT, I have also had another cold with sore throat and ears.  Ultimately I do think it is from being literally out of balance. But I wish there was a simple remedy. 

Hi, Magnets! Hope you're starting to get some relief. I've learned that, for me, my dizziness coincided with my adding Whey Protein to my diet. I wasn't aware that you have to seriously keep up w water intake, when taking this. I rarely drink the standard 8 glasses of water a day, so this hit me like a ton of bricks. One morning, soon after I began the supplement, I drank one cup of coffee and suddenly became extremely dizzy and weak. I have had low blood pressure due to dehydration in the past that returned to a tolerable level after a couple of glasses of good old H2O. That day, I carefully drank water throughout the day and noticed great improvement, though the weakness hung on for one more day, even w regular water drinking. Now I feel fine! No more dizziness or weakness since I've been more conscious of my water intake. Your symptoms may not respond to something as simple as this, but I just wanted to let you know my experience, just in case it might help.

I have been having the dizzy symptoms for 4 months now and was diagnosed with labyrinthitis also. I'm on antibiotics, motion sickness pills and ear drops. Has anybody flew in a plane while having this? I'm taking a new job in a month and I I will be in a plane for fourteen hrs and I'm very concerned, wondering if I should turn down the job.

Everything that u said is matching with my condition a 100 percent. Its 4 and a half week for me as well and my condition is worst from 8 am to ard 3 pm. Wondering when everything will be normal again. Its frustrating.
